TRINITY #10-13
This month in TRINITY: The Justice League joins Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman to stand against the threat that the Crime Syndicate brings to Earth. And, in this month’s co-features, members of Batman's "family" search for clues to what ties several thefts together – and what links them to the cosmic conflict that has resulted!
I guess I am still getting this, but I'd be a lot happier if they'd give you more info on the second feature in the book. You know, the reason I'm getting it at all?
FINAL CRISIS: LEGION OF THREE WORLDS #1
From the moment Kal-El landed on earth until the end of time, the Time Trapper has sought to erase Superman’s impact on the universe. But the Legion of Super-Heroes have always been there to stop him. This time, though, even the Legion won’t be enough. The Time Trapper has found the ultimate weapon to carry out his plan – a twisted mirror image of the boy of steel from a parallel Earth long dead: Superboy-Prime! Who will answer the Legion’s call for help? Find out here as the Crisis of the 31st century begins!
On the one hand, I like the Legion. On the other hand, I don't much care for Superboy Prime. On the other other hand, $3.99! Maybe wait for the trade, if that.
TITANS #5
In the stand-alone story “Date Night,” four Titans face the fact that love is a battlefield. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure is making his way to Titans Tower. Who is this ominous stranger – and how does he or she know the Titans?
The cover, it pleases me. :) Well, you know, inasmuch as I care, it pleases me. I would care less if someone hadn't decided that the best way to push the Nightwing/Oracle relationship was to throw dirt on Starfire (who I've always liked quite a bit) and the Nightwing/Starfire relationship (which I always thought was rather sweet). So if someone is going to bring the significance back to that past relationship, whether or not it means the relationship is revived in any way, I'm cool with it.
BATMAN #680
It’s “Batman R.I.P.” part 5 – and this issue features two events so monumental that one comic can barely contain them! First, Batman faces off against The Club of Villains. Then, The Joker makes his stand, challenging the Dark Knight to the ultimate battle of wits. Will Batman survive either of these threats – or could this be the end of Gotham City’s greatest hero?
I am getting this, although I'm not entirely sure why.
BATGIRL #2
Written by Adam Beechen
Art by Jim Calafiore & Jonathan Glapion
Cover by Andy Clarke
Batgirl’s path of vengeance violently crosses that of another young woman raised by David Cain. When a surprising link is found between Cain and Batgirl’s other target, Deathstroke the Terminator, will the two missions become one? Also, a member of the Bat-Family discovers just what Batgirl is up to. Will her cover be blown?
I've never had strong feelings one way or the other about this Batgirl; therefore, it's up to the thirteen-year-old whether we keep getting it. If the book pleases her, we do. If not...
DETECTIVE COMICS #847
A “Batman: R.I.P.” tie-in! Secrets shared years ago between Bruce Wayne and Tommy Elliott begin to have dangerous repercussions in the present. Why is this mystery driving Hush to destroy Batman’s life? And what part does Catwoman play in Hush’s plans?
Getting because of the Hush story.
BIRDS OF PREY #121
The Joker infiltrates the high-tech gang network of the Birds’ new hometown, Platinum Flats! And that’s going to set him up for a direct conflict with Oracle, Barbara Gordon!
Getting because we get it. Meaning that the Joker is not a draw for me.
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #27
Witness the grand opening of the new Warriors bar! Then, meet a mysterious new Lantern by the name of Saarek,who can hear the dead. What brings him to Oa – and why are the dead growing restless?
Looks good, nice cover. :)
JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #18
Magog is introduced into the DC Universe in “Gog” part 3! The last god of the Third World has walked the Earth delivering good will to men wherever he goes. But out of a violent confrontation comes the birth of the one being the Kingdom Come Superman must stop: Magog! Meanwhile, Starman struggles with his new role on the team and Damage celebrates his. Plus, Power Girl’s strange ordeal on Earth-2 leads her to seek out help from an unlikely source.
No real comments, but this book continues to hold my interest.
WONDER WOMAN #23
It’s the finale of the 4-part “Ends of the Earth” epic! Wonder Woman returns from the darkest corners of the DCU, and she's brought something nasty back with her! And will Diana fall at the scene of her Amazon sisters' greatest tragedy? You’ve never seen Wonder Woman like this before!
You know, I'm actually pretty sure that this book will be quite good, but the solicitation text really doesn't make it sound all that inviting.
JLA: SALVATION RUN TP
The hit 7-issue miniseries spinning out of COUNTDOWN TO FINAL CRISIS is collected in this new trade paperback. Exiled to a distant hell planet, the villains of the DCU split into two warring factions led by Lex Luthor and The Joker!
Ah, I can finally read this! :)
SCOOBY-DOO #135
Ever wonder what those Scooby-Doo villains are up to when they aren’t busy trying to chase off the Mystery Inc. gang? Now’s your chance to find out as Captain Cutler finds himself up against Those Meddling Kids!
For the nine-year-old, of course.
